In case you missed it this is how and what they did upon opening the convention that was unwisely delayed in my opinion....
My Way News - GOP convention opens with appeal for Gustav aid:
"ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Republicans, determined to propel John McCain to the White House, opened their storm-shortened national convention on Monday amid distractions involving running mate Sarah Palin. Police made more than 250 arrests in the surrounding streets as anti-war protests turned violent.
Delegates had scarcely settled into their seats when it was disclosed a lawyer had been hired to represent the Alaska governor in an investigation of her firing of the state's public safety commissioner. The other disclosure was personal, not political - the pregnancy of her 17-year-old unmarried daughter.
The convention's opening session was abbreviated as Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast, sparing New Orleans the type of damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina almost exactly three years ago.
President Bush skipped his planned speech to go to disaster and relief centers, determined to avoid a repeat of the mismanagement of Katrina.

McCain was in Waterville, Ohio, where he helped pack supplies to be sent to the Gulf.
Both men's wives sparked cheers when they appeared before the delegates, shunning politics to urge contributions to help storm"
